WSJ is refreshing to read compared to the always looking for UConn scandal or denigration ESPN, Yahoo, and Courant writers. KO has received, thankfully for UConn, a lot of good press. I'm sure, however, ESPN is looking around for something negative.

Quite frankly, we can now dare to dream that the Kevin Ollie era augments what Jim Calhoun built at UConn.
